Analyze

__**WHAT IS ANALYZE?**__ In the ADDIE instructional design model, the "A" stands for //**Analyze**//. In this step, the teacher is determining the “big picture” for the class lesson or unit. The teacher determines what will be taught. To do this, the teacher must establish what students already know and what needs to be taught. The teacher must also determine who her target audience is and assess each of the students' individual learning needs. The analysis also needs to establish what teaching methods, tools, and assessments will be used. In the analyze phase, all of this gathered information is used to set the objectives for the lesson or unit.
